She re-signed for the team going into the 2021 season with aspirations to fight for the title, but had to pull out in September due to lack of budget.

After taking part in pre-season testing at Anglesey Circuit in Wales, Pulling was announced on 11 June 2021 as one of five reserve drivers for the second season of the all-female Formula 3 championship, W Series. She made her debut at the third round of the championship at Silverstone, where she coincided with her coach Alice Powell. She qualified on pole for race one of the season-ending Austin double-header and achieved her first podium with 2nd place the following day—thus securing 7th in the standings and automatic qualification for the 2022 season.

In March 2022, Pulling was signed by Alpine as a member of their new Alpine Affiliate programme. Prior to the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Pulling and Aseel Al-Hamad became the first women to drive a Formula 1 car in Saudi Arabia.
